Baby, Hold On

Baby, Hold On

Back of the Book

Soldier Mike Nichols has come to Sweetness, Georgia, for one reason: to get help for his troubled black Lab, a decorated rescue dog, at the town's new military dog training facility. He doesn't expect to be referred to dog groomer Lacey Lovejoy instead!

Straitlaced Mike and free-spirited Lacey couldn't be more different. Yet the longer he works with Lacey, the more his attraction to her grows. They clash often, but their heated encounters also lead to a steamy night together that leaves them both reeling.

But when Lacey's job is done and it's time for Mike to move on, can their animal attraction turn into a permanent partnership?

Stephanie Bond's Bio

Stephanie Bond was seven years deep into a computer career and pursuing a master's degree at night when an instructor remarked she had a flair for writing and encouraged her to submit to academic journals. Once the seed was planted, however, Stephanie immediately turned to creating romance fiction in her spare time.

"I never saw myself as a comedy writer, until a Harlequin editor asked if I could write comedy. I lied and said not only did I write comedy, but I had a great idea for a book she might be interested in, and shot her an idea from the top of my head. When she said she liked it, I told her I had three chapters finished to send her right away. Then I went home and wrote like a madwoman. That book was my first Harlequin romantic comedy, Irresistible."

Harlequin purchased Irresistible from Stephanie in the fall of 1995 for their Love & Laughter line. In another two years, she left her computer career to write full-time. She now writes for Harlequin Blaze and for the MIRA imprint, which published her popular Body Movers humorous mystery series. Her current series with MIRA is the Southern Roads romance trilogy which includes the prequel novella "Baby, I'm Yours" and the books Baby, Drive South;Baby, Come Home; and Baby, Don't Go.

Stephanie lives in midtown Atlanta, Georgia, her laptop permanently attached to her body. Readers are invited to visit her website.
